Tree Falls Into Power Lines, Shuts Down Hillside Road Section

A section of Hillside Road remains impassable after a tree fell into overhead power lines, prompting officials to block off the area to traffic.

The Delaware Department of Transportation reports the roadway is shut down between Centerville Road and Greenspring Road while crews work to address the hazardous situation.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes while utility workers and transportation officials coordinate the removal of the downed tree and assess any damage to the electrical infrastructure.

No timeline has been provided for when the roadway will reopen to normal traffic flow.
